You are absolutely wrong! Not everyone is capable as the next to be an NBA basketball player, let alone a superstar. Not everyone can handle a 22 credit hour course load, let alone get straight A's.

We pick up almost every aspect of our beings as we going on, and thus I believe everyone IS equal in ability, the difference is their motive to use their abilities and the drive to always hone them.
I cannot play the guitar. I can however spar 30 rounds in a given session. Could i play the guitar if i really really wanted to? Most likely yes, but not as good as say Kayne West would be able to given the same amount of practice. With that said, even if Kayne West were to train in the gym hour for hour with me, i firmly believe i would tear him up in the ring. Not because he lacks desire, but because i am more physically blessed. Therefore people are not equal.


And I do have a compromise between the two, if anyone's interested.
